This is a true story

[sunnydlita]

Seven years ago, as I was getting ready to move to New York, my dad, hoping to connect me to a community of people who could help me out around the city, called a pastor he had randomly picked from his directory of Chinese Baptist churches. On the flop: a half-dozen-member congregation that desperately needed a pianist. Mean age (2003 estimate): 70

Oy. I do not miss nosy church ladies. Not even a little bit.

I really want to use this experience in one of my screenplays, but I fear that people will find the character too "unrealistic."

awesome

Sigh, I'm both amused and mildly horrified. That lady is so... direct. She seems like she wants the best for you, except that there's only one way to True Happiness, and tact is never going to be in the way of her helping you achieve that ;)
